🛠️ What does it mean when a console is refurbished?
(And why it's so much better than a used one)
When you search for a Game Boy, a Nintendo 64, or any retro console, you'll come across two key terms: used and refurbished . Although they're often used interchangeably, they're NOT.
And if you're looking for quality, the difference is huge .
❌ Used console (not refurbished)
Buying a used console online usually means:
-
The seller has not cleaned or checked the console.
-
It may come with hidden flaws
-
No proof, no guarantee, no attention to detail
-
Risk of receiving a defective product or one that stops working soon
In short: you buy it just as it was in a drawer .
✅ Refurbished console
At MartZ Gaming, a refurbished console means:
🎮 Full review:
Every button, screen, sound, connectors and casing are hand-checked.
🧼 Deep cleaning:
The interior is cleaned and any dust, moisture or battery residue is removed.
🧩 Part Replacement:
If something isn't perfect, it's replaced: casings, buttons, screens, batteries...
📦 Ready to play:
They're tested with real games. They arrive at your home fully functional.
🔒 Warranty included:
All our refurbished consoles have a 15-day real warranty .
🧠 Why is a refurbished console worth more?
-
Because it has passed through expert hands
-
Because you know what you're buying
-
Because it is a product ready to play or collect
-
Because it comes with a warranty
-
Because you don't get any surprises or "lucky tricks"
